PLoS ONE

PLoS ONE is an open access, "online only", scientific journal from the Public Library of Science. It covers primary research from any discipline within science and medicine.

The PLoS ONE online platform has post-publication user discussion and rating features. PLoS ONE articles are indexed in PubMed, MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, Google Scholar, the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), RefAware, EMBASE, AGRICOLA, Zoological Records and Web of Knowledge.
